Balance Mod Neutral Races

You don't need to do anything.

If there are any missing items in a mod folder such as a data file etc., the game automatically checks the stock folders for it. In this case, the only difference for the neutral races is the smaller flag sizes.

A neutral empire is a race that never leaves its home system. Besides the fact they will only ever be in one system, they all use the same generic ships, which are greyish-green and box like.

The main empires are:
Abbidon, Amonkrie, Cue Cappa, Drushocka, EEE, Jranear, Norak, Phong, Sergetti, Sithrak, Terran, Ukra'Tal, Xiati, and Xi'Chung.

Anybody else is a neutral empire.

When setting up a new game, you can choice between low, medium, and high for number of computer players and likewise for number of neutral empires.

Note that neutrals are assigned random unused flags when created. You have to look at the name of the empire, because they might use the same flag that you've seen on a main race in other games.

Another easy way involves games with multiple homeworlds. Minor races always have 1 regardless of how many the major races have. Thus they'll always have a much lower score in the rankings.
